The CFO's problem is not controls. It is enforcement and evidence.
Approval thresholds inconsistently enforced
Your DOA matrix has five dimensions. Your ERP checks one. Every approval that bypasses the full matrix is a control failure your auditor will eventually surface.
SOX controls tested on samples
5% of transactions tested. The other 95% is untested. Material weakness risk does not live in the 5% you tested. It lives in the 95% you didn't.
SoD mapped but violated
SoD matrices exist in spreadsheets. Operational systems don't enforce them. Every SoD violation discovered in audit is a violation that executed in production months earlier.
Quarter-end close is heroic
Reconciliations, validations, evidence assembly, all manual, all under pressure. A close process that depends on heroics is a close process that will eventually fail.
Audit prep consumes 6–8 weeks
Senior finance time pulling evidence from multiple systems. If your audit preparation takes weeks, your governance is not infrastructure. It is a reconstruction project.
